"What? Wu Tian actually knows the direct descendants of our ancestors?"
Upon hearing this, the Dragon King and Ying King shuddered as if they were struck by thunder, with surprise and joy on their faces.
"We won't leave. We'll wait here. We won't leave until we get accurate information," said the Dragon King.
Prince Ying nodded. This was a matter of great importance, concerning the fate of the entire Sikong clan. The two of them dared not be careless at all. They would not be at peace until they got an answer.
"call out!"
A streak of light flashed across the sky, like a meteor drawing a graceful arc and shooting towards the top of Shadow Mountain.
Glancing at the Shadow Guard Commander in front of him, Wu Tian's eyes flashed with an unnoticed disgust, and then he strode forward, bowed and said, "I wonder why the Commander called me here?"
"What? Are you still angry about what happened last time?" The Shadow Guard Commander laughed.
"Your Excellency the Commander is in a high position of power and great strength. Even if what you do is unbecoming of your status, your subordinates cannot and dare not be angry." Wutan said lightly, the sarcasm in his words was clearly audible.
"Haha! You have some self-knowledge." The Shadow Guard Commander smiled indifferently and said, "You don't really want to see the City Lord, today I will grant your wish. Go! He is waiting for you in the hall."
"real?"
Hearing this, Wutan was surprised and delighted, as if he was really meeting his idol, his face was full of joy, but this was only the feeling of the Shadow Guard Leader.
"Yes, cherish this opportunity. If you are appreciated by the city lord, your future will be limitless." The Shadow Guard Commander nodded.
Hearing this, Wutan, with excitement and trepidation, bowed to the Shadow Guard Commander and walked towards the hall at the end of the square.
"What should I do next? Should I just reveal my cards or try it out secretly first?" Wutan was extremely nervous. He had never been so nervous before.
After tracking Chi Yanzi's whereabouts for so long, he finally achieved some results, but he was a little at a loss. If he tested him secretly, he didn't know when it would end. If he revealed his cards, he was not afraid of a big fight, but he was afraid that Chi Yanzi would get the news, hide secretly, or sneak back to the Samsara Continent.
Wutan now regrets a little why he didn't leave some people from the Shura Legion to guard the bloody altar.
"Forget it. Since there is no good solution, let's just take it one step at a time."
Seeing that the palace door was just around the corner, Wutan took a deep breath, tried his best to keep his body and mind as calm as possible, and then stepped in.
What meets the eye is a magnificent scene, with hundreds of fist-sized luminous pearls neatly inlaid on the four walls. The soft light spreads down, adding a bit of mystery to this place.
The ground was paved with white jade, sparkling with crystal light and spotless. There were nine stone pillars that were so big that five or six people could not surround them. They were like Optimus Prime. The majestic aura impacted the view like a tide.
"no one?"
Wutan frowned slightly and looked around, but didn't see even a ghost, let alone the Dark City Lord.
"With the cultivation level of a minor success, you sounded the drums of life and death and defeated the ten great kings. What an arrogant young man you are." A vague voice suddenly sounded in the hall, so erratic that it was difficult to capture any trace.
Wutan's eyes flickered, and he looked around, but still did not find any figure, not even a trace of human breath. It was as if the sound came from a hundred thousand miles away, and the lingering sound lingered for a long time.
"Don't look at it, my real body is not here."
After a pause, without waiting for Wu Tian's answer, the Dark City Lord continued, "I heard from the Shadow Guard Commander that you really wanted to see me, and even went so far as to compete with the old man in drinking and fight against the ten great kings. I am also very curious about you, but it's a pity that I am still in seclusion. How about this! I will summon you after I come out of seclusion."
After saying this, the voice disappeared no more, leaving only its lingering sound echoing in the hall.
Wu Tian was a little stunned. What kind of play was this? It seemed that he hadn't even spoken yet!
"Lord City Lord?" Wutan called tentatively, but there was no response.
"City Lord?" Wutan called out again without giving up, but there was still no response. He finally understood that the Dark City Lord had really disappeared.
Wutan had an urge to curse. He had worked so hard to get this opportunity, but he disappeared without a trace before he could even say a word. What was going on
I was still racking my brains over how to respond, but it turned out that I was overthinking it. The other party had no intention of saying a word to me.
"call!"
Wu Tian let out a long sigh, suppressed the irritation in his heart, and glanced at the hall again. Only then did he completely give up. With a helpless mood, he turned around and slowly walked out of the hall.
After walking out of the hall, the Shadow Guard Commander asked with a smile: "How is it? What is the result?"
"If this is your reply to me, I think all my previous efforts have been in vain." Wutan shook his head with a strong sense of sarcasm.
"The Lord City Lord is indeed busy this time. I believe that he will definitely come in person next time. Besides, your previous efforts have not been in vain. At least you have won a great reputation and the title of the strongest king."
"Goodbye!"
Wutan was too lazy to waste time talking to such a person. He bowed, turned into a stream of light, and disappeared into the sky without looking back. He did not show the slightest respect for the Shadow Guard Commander.
"Haha! It's not that easy to meet the city lord. Just wait! Maybe I can meet him tomorrow, or maybe I won't have the chance in this lifetime."
Looking at the quickly receding figure, the Shadow Guard Commander raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a strange smile, mysterious and obscure.
When he returned to the cave, Wutan was not surprised to see that the Dragon King and the other man were still there.
Upon seeing Wu Tian return, Prince Ying hurriedly went to greet him and said hopefully: "Wu... Li Feng, was what you said before true?"
"Didn't you meet the Lord of Darkness?" The Dragon King frowned slightly and asked in confusion. He was more rational and could tell from Wujitia's expression that this meeting with the Lord of Darkness was not very ideal.
"No, there was only one voice." Wu Tian waved his hand and set up the small Zhoutian ban, then shook his head and saw that the Dragon King had a strange expression, and he suddenly felt puzzled. Could it be...
If so, the Dragon King’s next words confirmed that Wu Tian’s guess was wrong.
The Dragon King showed a rare sneer on his face and said, "When the former kings, including me and King Ying, were summoned by the Lord of Darkness, we didn't see any figures. I thought it was because we were not talented enough and couldn't catch his eye. I never thought that you are the same now. The Lord of Darkness is really mysterious. Sometimes I wonder if there is such a person."
"What did you say?" Wutan suddenly spoke, his eyes shining brightly, staring at the Dragon King closely.
The sudden change made the Dragon King and the others extremely confused. The Dragon King frowned and asked, "What did I say wrong? Why is there such a big reaction?"
"No, no, I seem to have thought of something, but it feels so vague that I can't grasp it. Could you please say the last sentence you said just now again?" Wutan said anxiously.
The Dragon King said: "I said, the Dark City Lord is very mysterious."
Wu Tian shook his head and said, "No, later."
“Sometimes I wonder if there is such a person…”
When the Dragon King said this, an idea suddenly occurred to him and he froze in his tracks, muttering, "Is there such a person..."
Looking at Wu Tian and then at the Dragon King, Ying Wang was completely confused and didn't understand what the two were doing. Just as he was about to continue asking about the whereabouts of his ancestors and descendants, Wu Tian and the Dragon King looked at each other and exclaimed in unison: "It is very likely that there is no Dark City Lord at all!"
"What?" Ying Wang shouted, his mind paused for a moment.
"Why didn't I think of this problem before? Every time, it was the Shadow Guard Commander who gave orders on behalf of the Dark City Lord. Except for the Shadow Guard Commander, no one in the entire Dark City has ever seen the true body of the Dark City Lord, not even the elders. This is too unreasonable." said the Dragon King.
"Even the elder hasn't seen it?" Wutan was surprised.
The Dragon King nodded heavily.
With his eyes narrowed and gleaming, Wu Tian pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Let's make a bold assumption. Let's assume that the Lord of Dark City is just a code name. In fact, there is no such person. The real controller of Dark City is... the Leader of Shadow Guards!"
"Are you two crazy? How could there be no Dark Lord in the Dark City? If there really was no Dark Lord, who was the one who usurped the throne in the first place?"
King Ying shook his head in rebuttal, looked at the Dragon King, and said, "Don't forget, the elders of the clan said that it was the Dark City Lord and the Shadow Guard Commander who teamed up to kill our ancestors. In other words, this was witnessed by all the ancestors."
"I saw it with my own eyes. Could it be that our guess was wrong?" After hearing what King Ying said, Wutan began to doubt his previous assumptions.
"Alas!" The Dragon King shook his head and sighed, saying: "Forget it, let's talk about this later. Wu Tian, first tell us who are the direct descendants of our ancestors?"
"Yes, yes. As long as the direct descendants of our ancestor show up, we can ask the old monsters in the clan to help with the investigation. Then the progress will definitely be faster than it is now." King Ying nodded in agreement, looking very anxious.
After glancing at the two of them, Wutan temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart and secretly sent a message to Sikong Yanran, but after waiting for a moment, there was no response.
Wutan frowned, took out the Wanxiang Order and sent a message, but the result was the same, like a stone sinking into the sea, without any response.
"What's going on?" the Dragon King and the other two asked in surprise.
"Li Feng, something bad has happened." At this moment, an anxious shout sounded outside the cave, followed by a figure rushing in.
"Brother, Prince Ying, you are all here!"
This person was Crazy Shao. He and Dragon King hurriedly greeted each other, then looked at Wu Tian and said, "Li Feng, it's bad. Sikong Mei Niu was captured by Lei Ming!"
Wu Tian's face changed, he grabbed Crazy Shao's clothes and shouted coldly: "What's going on? Explain it to me clearly."
"Let go quickly. Lei Ming has taken Sikong Meiniu to the Death Zone. They may be there soon. If we don't hurry up, it will be too late. Let's talk about the details while we walk."
"What?! Lei Ming dared to go to the Death Zone. Is he crazy?"
The Dragon King exclaimed, and explained quickly and concisely: "The Death Zone is in the deepest part of the Devil's Mountain Range. It is very strange. Once you enter it, not only can you not use the power of elements, but all your magic weapons, including the legendary holy weapons, will become like scrap metal and will not be able to exert any power at all."
"Lei Ming, you deserve to die!" Wu Tian's face was as gloomy as water, and he could no longer control the murderous intent in his heart. He let go of Crazy Shao and said in a deep voice, "Lead the way!"
Hearing this, the two Dragon Kings grabbed Crazy Shao, looked at Wu Tian with embarrassment, and said, "The Death Jedi is several times more dangerous than the Devil's Mountain Range. I can't let my brother accompany you on this adventure."
"The person you are looking for is Sikong Yanran. If anything unexpected happens by then, I hope you won't regret it." After saying that, Wutan didn't dare to stay any longer. He turned into a divine rainbow, rushed out of the cave, and flew towards the sky at an extremely fast speed.
"What? Sikong Yanran is the direct descendant of our ancestor! Go!"
Upon hearing this, the Dragon King and the Ying King were shocked and angry. After learning Sikong Yanran's identity, they were even more anxious than Wutan. They caught up with Wutan at such a fast speed and led the way.
"Sikong Meiniu is actually the young master, how is that possible? Wait for me!" Crazy Shao's expression changed repeatedly, and finally he shouted loudly and quickly followed.
